I did MG's Coffeeneuring Challenge this past fall and was glad for an excuse to get out and ride and find new coffee shops in my neighborhood. I, too, have felt some bicycling malaise. My body is taking winter weather more personally this year; my knees ache in the cold and I am tired from the tumult of my career-change (and the resulting change in the social and psychic landscape). But there are small victories. Last night I rode most of the way home (I go multi-modal a lot) and while I felt dreadfully slow, my legs felt smooth and fluid and I enjoyed the ride. I look forward to warmer days and a corresponding increase in the inspration to ride longer and farther on the weekends. Happy riding --BH http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=483#comment-4632 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 07:12:28 +0000 http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=483#comment-4632 Thanks gentlemen! Always nice to know you are along on this ride. ;^) http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=483#comment-4631 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 03:03:03 +0000 http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=483#comment-4631 Lets plan on 2013 being a good one! http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=483#comment-4628 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 20:05:29 +0000 http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=483#comment-4628 This sounds so much like my year. I don't see a change in 2013, though. It isn't due to a lack of optimism either. http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=478#comment-4501 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 13:41:18 +0000 http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=478#comment-4501 I am more under-miled than you are. Just riding to and from work and half the time I'm going multi-modal. Still, I'd welcome the opportunity to knock myself out on a populaire if one were scheduled, artwork or no. Did you go? http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=471#comment-4413 Wed, 18 May 2011 18:27:50 +0000 http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=471#comment-4413 Congratulations! It’s been a cold spring here and a challenge for many to get in the distance. I’m guessing you braved some April showers …. Still, I always say any day on the bike is a good day. http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=471#comment-4411 Wed, 11 May 2011 23:11:12 +0000 http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=471#comment-4411 Hey man, Way to go! I read your blog regularly, thanks for taking the time and posting your rides and all our bike pics and stories. I'm planning on doing just this come Summer, an entire month of riding to work, one way for me is 22 miles, Santa Cruz near UCSC to Pajaro. Anyways, good on ya! Way to inspire me. http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=470#comment-4409 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 23:43:29 +0000 http://ramblings.cyclofiend.com/?p=470#comment-4409 Reminds me of the 35-mile group ride that accidentally became 10 miles longer -- and I STILL had to be home by 3 pm. I made it. Barely. Sometimes, though, those lost afternoons on the bike are positively golden.
